Morphological Representations and Morphological Deficits in Aphasia

  • Chapter
Morphology, Phonology, and Aphasia

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Neuropsychology ((SSNEUROPSYCHOL))

Abstract

A major goal in the study of language disorders by linguists is to develop an understanding of the functional architecture of language competence. Specifically, it is hoped that the study of language breakdown in aphasia will shed light on certain questions: In what form is linguistic knowledge represented in the brain? What role do linguistic representations play in the process of language comprehension and production?
